Cristiano Ronaldo Buys World’s Most Expensive Car At £9.5million

The one-off Bugatti La Voiture Noire sports car is reportedly the most expensive car ever built. It is styled after the Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic, four of which were built between 1936 and 1938.

Although Bugatti stated they have found a buyer, they are yet to confirm this. The French luxury company built only one of the prototype supercar and it is a tribute to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the company.

According to reports, Ronaldo is said to have spent €11million (£9.49million) on the unique Bugatti which was first presented to the world at the Geneva Motor Show 2019.

The French luxury company built only one of the prototype supercar and it is a tribute to the 110th anniversary of the founding of the company. The sports car is powered by the company’s 8.0-litre turbocharged W16 engine and can reach 260mph.

Reports from the Spanish sports paper Marca reveals that the new owner is the legendary footballer, despite previous claims that it was bought by Ferdinand Piech, former chairman of the Volkswagen Group.

The owner of the world’s most expensive car will not be able to drive the car until 2021 as the company still needs to finalise some small details on the prototype, according to reports.

Ronaldo already has a fleet of luxury cars which reportedly include a Mercedes C Class Sport Coupe, a Rolls-Royce Phantom, a Ujn Ferrari 599 GTO, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, an Aston Martin DB9, a McLaren MP4 12C and a Bentley Continental GTC Speed.
